I got a surprise AI bill and it did what bills are supposed to do. It made the cost impossible to ignore.
That was the problem I kept running into while building. Usage felt cheap in the moment, then the invoice showed up later and killed the momentum.
So I built TokenBar to keep token usage visible in the Mac menu bar while I work. Not because visibility is glamorous, but because it changes behavior.
When the number is right there, I make different choices.
Small product. Real behavior change.
